Top 3 ramen I've had in my life, including Tokyo — rich, fatty but not too fatty, savory and not too salty.
-
The pork might be the best thing in the bowl, and the broth was the highlight — wow.
-
Everything is customizable, the broth is creamy but not too heavy, and the jammy egg was so good we all got an extra.
-
Some of the best ramen I've ever had — the classic tonkotsu was flavorful and rich, and medium spice was very reasonable.
-
The Classic Vegan Ramen is really good — the broth is full of flavor and the medium spice is just right.
-
It competes with some of the best ramen I've had in Sapporo, and it's just as good as what we ate in Fukuoka.
-
Each bowl has a rich, flavorful broth, tender chashu, a bunch of tasty toppings and incredible noodles.
-
The noodles had great texture, the broth was balanced, and the toppings were delicious — an excellent bowl.
-
It reminds me of Ichiran in Japan, without the individual stalls.
-
Delicious ramen in a very large portion, served quickly, with a very short wait for a table.
